🏁 BULLRING SUNDAYS STARTS THIS SUNDAY! 🏁

For the first time ever, we're bringing BIG CAR racing to Sunday nights at Coles County Speedway!

Welcome to the inaugural BULLRING SUNDAY at The Baddest Bullring on the Planet!

This Sunday marks the beginning of a brand-new tradition as six exciting divisions battle wheel-to-wheel on the historic 1/8-mile oval:

🏁 DIRTcar Modifieds
🏁 NARA Limited Modifieds
🏁 DIRTcar Pro Late Models
🏁 DIRTcar Factory Stocks
🏁 DIRTcar Hornets

The bullring is tight. The racing is intense. Every lap is a fight for position, and every inch of racetrack matters.

We're building something special at Coles County Speedway, and we want YOU to be part of opening night as we kick off a new era of Sunday night dirt track racing.

Can the Modifieds tame the bullring?
Who will become the first-ever Bullring Sunday winners?

🚨 ATTENTION COLES COUNTY SPEEDWAY FANS 🚨

REMINDER- There will be NO racing this Friday night at Coles County Speedway.

We want to apologize to our incredible Micro Sprint family. With the last-minute postponement of the Full Throttle Rodeo and the fact that Macon Speedway is hosting a major two-day micro event this weekend, we simply did not feel we could produce the quality show that our racers and fans deserve.

Rather than put on a watered-down program, we've made the difficult decision to pause Friday night's event and focus our efforts on delivering a great show moving forward.

🏁 Our attention now turns to Sunday Night Racing, where we're planning to be back in action with the first Sunday night of our BIG CAR SUNDAY'S if Mother Nature cooperates. Keep an eye on our social media channels for weather updates as we get closer to race day.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we work to build the best racing experience possible at the Baddest Bullring on the Planet.

See you Sunday... if the weather holds off! 🌤️🏁
